At Column- bia's Lamant Geologicai Obser- vatory, in a praject financedi by the U.S. Atomie Euerg-y Comn- isýsion, they go unden the scrut-. iny of scientists who anal.yzea the bouies for strontiumi 90. Re- centiy the project's three scien- tists, Drs. Waiter R. Eckeimaun, J Laurence Kuip and Arthur R. Schuient, made thein secoud an- fluaI report.

Thie hîgl-est values were fouud lu North Amienica, the lowvest lu the Southeru Hemnisphere. Young cblîdren have, propor- tionately, ten times more stron- tium 90 ii, their boues thani aduits, but so far the average is ouiy about 1/150 of the IMPC (Maxim-um Permnissible Couceni- tration) that was recon-lmended by the National Academy of Sel- ences. The amount wiii s-uneiy !gnow, say the scient sts. Even if uhere may be enough strontium 90 in "the stnatospheric reser- voir" to taise the strontium 9 ln the boies of childreu lu the Northeastern U,S. to as mnuch as 4.%of the MPC. If weapons testiug, continues at the saine rate as the last few years, the average fan the entire population of thbe Northeastern U-.S. wl gradually ciimb ta about 20% of the MPC by the year 2000 NoV ail people get the same amaunt.

Drawn from the mold that grows on bread, it cau) be used safely iu the severest heart and stroke cases ta the preven- ion of much lugtem amage. In ten years of experimenting wffih ifimals and finally -vith 25 hurnans,, Dr. Mario Stefanini discovered that the-extract dis- solves proteins, which make up bloodelots. Its precise nature is flot yet known, however, and it will probably flot bc available for use by general practitianers for anDother t1wo years. FUor victims of1ongestive heart 1,aiure -- the nost cmo cause of death from h',eart mala- dies -- Drs.

The afflicted person's heart fails to pump enoughi blood to nieet the body's üoxygeu re- quiremeuts. To coi1mpensate, large quanties of fluids collect iu the body tissues and are not carried off ta the lçldueys. Th-e luugs andi liver mnay becamre congested. Instead of "drowning îu their o-wu fluid," Drs.

The flstciemical analysîs of the patches on~ the insfide of the arteries of -patients withate- scierosis was described by Dr ,. Chartes J, Umbergcer andl Lea A. Dal Gortivo, biochemists in the New York City Medical Exam- iner's offlice. Their intricate tests of hardened material taken from the arteries of 55 msen (betwýýeen 26 and 50 years aid) who had died of acute heart disease moay uipset current theor-1es as to how fats lui the diet coutnibute to hardeniug of the arteries and ta eventual heant attacks. Cotrary te, their e-xpectations, the scientists found that the ar- tery cleposit5 they studied cou- tained no fats at ail, although it looked and feit like Fat. More than haif of the artery patches was cholesterol, but ini a differ- eut forni than the ordinary cholesterai fouind iu the blood stream). From these findings, Drs, Umberg-er andl Dal Cottivo assume that changes so far un- knowu may take place iu body choiesterol before it reaches the arteries. Their analyses alsn suggested that diets of unsatun- ated fats (such as vegetable ails) recommended ta heart patients by many physicians may have nio e1ffect ln pxeventîng artery hard- euing. -Froru NEWSWEFX.
